Upcoming sequel Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 will run on Crytek's sophisticated CryEngine 3, which was used to build Crysis 2. The engine offers a range of sophisticated tools, including facial animation and advanced lighting techniques.

Developer City Interactive has released the first screenshot of the game, and the power of the CryEngine is evident.
